Poor Richard says, \u201cThe eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.\u201d Up until an hour before the deadline I was a master, but a master without any writing for the blog. Woe is the life of a master. Perhaps if I were to never write the six hundred words necessary to get a good grade, then I could always call myself a master. If anyone asked me to prove that I was a master I could show them this quote. Once they see the quote they will understand that I am truly a master, and forever after I will be revered by all who know me. People will look at me as the authority and will do my biding. Power will begin to poor through my veins, and that\u2019s bad, because I\u2019m pretty sure those tubes are for blood only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I\u2019ll turn back to reality to focus on what really stands out, \u201cWant of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.\u201d Nowadays we would just say \u201clack of\u201d instead of \u201cwant of\u201d but that\u2019s just to clear things up. So, most people tend to think of knowledgeable people as \u201cbookworms,\u201d or people who are constantly using their eyes (sorry, blind people get no rep. in this point) to read, but the people who show real kindness tend to use their hearts and hands to care for people. If we see masters as people who use their eyes more than their hands aren\u2019t we just putting authority in the hands of people who don\u2019t care as much? Isn\u2019t that what does us more damage? I\u2019m not going to act like I know what\u2019s best, but maybe more people should read those two lines. It\u2019s already too late for me though; I\u2019m too awkward to make that impact. Imagine life is a party. I\u2019m at the edge of the room, but the food is in the middle. All I have to do is use my hands to push everyone out of my way. If you refer to the first paragraph you\u2019ll remember that my blood is slowly becoming replaced by power, so my hands are lacking blood right now and I can\u2019t push anything. (My brain also obviously lacks blood based on this post, but anyway) I\u2019m forced to spend my time observing and judging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really feel like I\u2019ve uncovered the truth behind what it means to be a \u201cmaster.\u201d If you lack the talent to act in any useful way, lack social skills, and pretend there is something you are good for, then you are a master. I\u2019m not pointing any fingers, but the proof is in the president\u2026 I mean pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, Poor Richard gives us, \u201cNot to oversee workmen, is to leave them your purse open.\u201d But doesn\u2019t God want us to be charitable? Maybe the point of this quote is that we shouldn\u2019t oversee everyone who is beneath us. Maybe we shouldn\u2019t take on the role of a master, but instead we should leave our purses and our hands open. If we keep our hands busy with the goal of providing for people so that they won\u2019t lack care in the pursuit of wealth, then we could be much better off. All it takes is three quotes from Ben Franklin to go on this incredible journey of understanding. Clearly, I have lost my title of master and now think more about how I can use my hands, and that change is thanks to Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lied about the money part though. I\u2019m not going to let anyone near my purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
